steve was very knowledgeable and very patient as well as he was great at keeping me informed as to what was going on at all times with both of my cases and the outcome on both was great. I surely hope that I don't need him for this kind of thing again but if I did he would be the first call.

Steve was a real human being and what impressed me the most was his devotion to his client vs monetary value of his client. He never talked down to me, we were humans first at the same level then we were client/ lawyer.
